" WASHINGTON -- Recycled smartphones are being turned into detection devices to help protect endangered rainforests from illegal logging activity and animal poaching.

"We use old recycled smartphones that we put up in the trees to listen for the sounds of chainsaws, gunshots, and other noises," says Topher White, co-founder of Rainforest Connection. "Then we're able to send real-time alerts to authorities who are able to show up in time to actually stop it." "
